“Congratulations to the host for advancing to the Late-stage of Golden Bones Refinement for the first time in your life. You have obtained 1,500 breakthrough points…”

The arrival of this wave of breakthrough points allowed Zhu Wuyang to stabilize his current strength.

Zhu Wuyang smiled bitterly and added the few hundred points he had accumulated to the Azure Dragon Concealment Art. Although it could not allow the Azure Dragon Concealment Art to break through to the Greater Mastery realm, the more it increased, the safer Zhu Wuyang would be.

The Princes, Princesses, and concubines in the palace were really bored. For some reason, they cared about him, mocked him, and it even developed to the point of mass mocking him.

Did they really think that the previous owner of this body was so stupid that he couldn’t even tell that if they were concerned about him for real?

Speaking of which, Zhu Wuyang didn’t do anything out of line, right? He had been cooped up in his bedroom all this time, but trouble actually came from the sky.

Zhu Wuyang knew very well that at this moment, in the entire palace, there was basically no one who really cared about him. It was true that they were mocking him. Their so-called concern was probably because they were worried that he would die early. This way, Zhu Zhenwu would have to choose the next unlucky scapegoat.

“Congratulations to the host for seeing through the enemy’s true colors for the first time in your life. You have obtained 1,000 breakthrough points…”

Hearing the system notification, Zhu Wuyang felt a little depressed. After absorbing this wave of breakthrough points, he no longer let his imagination run wild and began to focus on cultivating the Azure Dragon Concealment Art.

Life after transmigrating was really difficult. It was fine if he was in danger of facing a calamity at any time, but he couldn’t even play with his phone, watch television, or ride a bicycle… He couldn’t even have the right to let his imagination run wild.

It’s so difficult for me!

“Congratulations to the host for being schemed against for the first time in your life. You have obtained 1,000 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for being schemed against for the second time in your life. You have obtained 800 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for being schemed against for the third time in your life. You have obtained 600 breakthrough points…”

… .

The tree wanted peace!

But the wind would not cease!

Zhu Wuyang originally felt that he didn’t have to think about anything else and only needed to focus on cultivating the Azure Dragon Concealment Art. There shouldn’t be any problems.

However, even though he had already gotten to this point, there were still people plotting against him. Speaking of which, which bastards were so free to plot against him, the poor Crown Prince who had no power or influence? What did they scheme against him for? They actually brought him so many breakthrough points!

Zhu Wuyang thought about it and could not think of the mastermind behind it. He could only give up helplessly and continue to absorb the strange powers transformed from the breakthrough points to continuously increase his strength.

At the same time, he waited and watched!

While Zhu Wuyang was focused on cultivating, two eunuchs were walking towards him.

The leading eunuch was thin and wrinkled, and his entire body emitted a cold aura. He was the head eunuch of the Crown Prince Palace, Wei Ancai. His strength was already close to the Xiantian realm, and he was the strongest martial artist in the Crown Prince Palace.

The eunuch following him was in his early thirties. He was fair-faced and beardless, and his head was always lowered as he walked. He was Wei Ancai’s deputy, Xiao Fuzi. His strength had also reached the Mid-stage of the Meridian Forging Realm, and his Frost Inner Qi was incomparably powerful.

These two eunuchs were spies sent by the 89th Prince, Zhu Libo, to the Crown Prince’s palace. As one of the strongest Princes in the palace, Zhu Libo’s power was extremely great, steadily surpassing the 38th Prince and the 14th Princess.

“These pieces of trash. I’ve only left for a short while, but the Crown Prince has already caused trouble and caused us to be scolded by His Highness. I must teach them a lesson today,” Wei Ancai shouted in a sharp voice as he walked quickly.

Xiao Fu’zi said respectfully, “Those damn guards and palace maids all felt that the 168th Prince would die sooner or later, so they didn’t take him seriously. It’s said that when the Crown Prince’s chamber was on fire, some guards and palace maids had already seen smoke coming out, but no one went to take a look.”

“Even if the 168th Prince is just a scapegoat, these servants don’t dare to look down on him.” Wei Ancai snorted. “Moreover, their masters are still counting on the 168th Prince to take over for a period of time so that they won’t be pushed to the position of Crown Prince. In the end, these servants are too careless. Don’t blame me for teaching them a lesson on behalf of their masters.”

Xiao Fu’zi nodded. “You’re right.”

“Let’s go and see the Crown Prince first. Then, we’ll gather all the guards, palace maids, and eunuchs in the Crown Prince’s Palace and teach them a lesson,” Wei Ancai said coldly. “Since their master doesn’t have time to teach them a lesson, I’ll teach them a lesson on behalf of their master.”

Soon, Zhu Wu heard a knock on the door.

“Your Highness, this old servant, Wei Ancai, is here to greet you.”

Zhu Wuyang’s expression changed slightly. Wei Ancai was the strongest martial artist in the Crown Prince Palace. He was only half a step away from stepping into the Xiantian realm and had even grasped a powerful detection technique. It was very likely that he could see through his Azure Dragon Concealment Art. Should he let him in?

Although he really wanted to chase Wei Ancai away and not let him enter the bedroom, if he did so, Wei Ancai would definitely become suspicious. At that time, he would definitely use a probing technique on him, and the possibility of being exposed would be greater.

Moreover, Wei Ancai was the head steward of the Crown Prince Palace. It was impossible for Zhu Wuyang to not see him. With the other party’s strength, even if he wanted to barge in, Zhu Wuyang would not be able to stop him, just like the two imperial guards, Zhen Le and Feng Yuan.

In that case, there was no point in stopping him. It would be easier to expose himself if he did that. It was better to let him in.

“Come in!”

This was the first time Zhu Wuyang felt that death was so close to him. After all, with his current progress in the Azure Dragon Concealment Art, it was very likely that he could not hide from Wei Ancai’s detection.

As long as Wei Ancai used a probing technique on him, Zhu Wuyang’s true strength would definitely be exposed. It would not be like when he faced Chu Xia, Zhen Le, and Feng Yuan previously. Zhu Wuyang was still confident that he could hide from their detection.

However, Wei Ancai was different. Wei Ancai’s strength was extremely strong, and it was said that the detection technique he grasped was also quite powerful. The possibility of Zhu Wuyang hiding from him was basically zero.

Now, Zhu Wuyang could only pray that Wei Ancai would not use the probing technique on him after they met.

It was just that many times, fortune never came alone.

“Congratulations, host. For the first time in your life, you feel that a life-and-death crisis is imminent. You have obtained 3,000 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for hearing the voice of a eunuch for the first time in your life. You have received 300 breakthrough points…”

“Congratulations to the host for speaking to a eunuch for the first time in your life. You have obtained 300 breakthrough points…”
